Creating the Gold-Dusted Truffles

1. Chop the chocolate: Finely chop the dark chocolate into uniform pieces and place in a heatproof bowl.
2. Heat the cream: Warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
3. Combine and melt: Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate, let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
4. Add flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and unsalted butter until fully incorporated.
5. Chill the mixture: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to roll.
6. Form the truffles: Use a teaspoon or melon baller to scoop out small portions, then roll between your palms to shape into balls.
7. Apply the gold: Carefully apply edible gold leaf using tweezers or dust the truffles with shimmering gold dust for a stunning finish.
8. Optional coating: Roll the finished truffles in cocoa powder or chopped nuts for additional texture and flavor.
